Caracas (OrinocoTribune.com <https://orinocotribune.com/>)—On Wednesday,
Venezuela received a technical mission from the Zionist entity of “Israel,”
allegedly consisting of experts in structural engineering and applied
sciences who will join the evaluation of infrastructure affected by the
recent earthquakes, Foreign Minister Yván Gil reported
<https://t.me/YvanGilPinto/8521> on social media.

One day after the double earthquake that struck north-central Venezuela,
devastating Caracas and La Guaira, authorities from the genocidal regime in
Tel Aviv announced the possibility of sending a “humanitarian delegation”
to the country.

Pointing to the bloody track record of “Israel” in Palestine, Lebanon, and
Iran, comparable to or worse than the natural disaster affecting Venezuela,
Orinoco Tribune wrote
<https://x.com/OrinocoTribune/status/2070123804064469232> on social media:
“We don’t need fake solidarity and alleged humanitarian assistance from the
genocidal ‘Israeli’ regime. Keep your Mossad agents out of Venezuela!”

Israeli Ambassador Yoed Magen, who grew up in Venezuela, is leading the
advance team on behalf of the “Israeli” Foreign Ministry. The Zionist
entity’s military forces reported that the remainder of the aid delegation
will arrive in Venezuela in the upcoming days.

However, many analysts agree that the Zionist presence in Venezuela may
conceal geopolitical interests and must be closely monitored by Venezuelan
authorities. Their presence directly contradicts the values of peace and
respect for human rights cherished by the Bolivarian Revolution.

Condemning the Zionist presence, Venezuelanalysis.com wrote
<https://x.com/venanalysis/status/2072427447795032305> on social media:
“#TeamGenocide is on the ground in Venezuela. It’s beyond sickening that
these genocidal monsters get to take advantage of a devastating disaster to
score PR points, not to mention further expand their murderous agenda way
beyond occupied Palestine.”

Meetings between the Zionist “aid delegation” and Venezuelan housing and
infrastructure authorities were reported
<https://x.com/venanalysis/status/2072694566222758054> on Friday, sparking
further condemnation among Chavistas.

Hindu Anderi, one of the most prominent figures of Palestinian solidarity
in Venezuela, wrote <https://x.com/venanalysis/status/2072563372021756311>
the following regarding the Zionist presence: “Lebanon, Palestine, and Iran
come to mind when I see these people on my sacred soil which is bleeding.
An earthquake will not erase a genocide. Free Palestine!”

Anderi’s post, which contained no hate speech but simply expressed disgust
over the presence of genocidal “Israeli” forces in Venezuela, was partially
restricted by X. The social media platform frequently amplifies “Israeli”
warmongering and Zionist actions despite claiming to be a bastion of “free
speech.”

*Recognition of international volunteers*
In contrast, on Thursday, Venezuela’s Acting President Delcy Rodríguez
recognized <https://youtu.be/GrBg4epv5fw> rescue teams from Italy and
Switzerland for their participation in recovery efforts in La Guaira state.
During the ceremony, a private letter addressed to Italian Prime Minister
Giorgia Meloni was handed to the Italian ambassador in Caracas, who
attended the event.

The international teams were honored with the Heroes of Venezuela medal for
their outstanding and courageous participation in search, rescue, and
recovery operations. The Canine Heroes of Venezuela award was also
presented to the teams’ rescue dogs for their tireless and vital work
following the tragedy, which has left a heartbreaking toll of more than
2,500 dead.

The leader of the Swiss rescue team, Sebastian Eugster, expressed gratitude
to the Venezuelan authorities for the daily logistical and operational
support. He reported that while this initial team is returning home,
another specialized group will arrive later, ensuring a continuous Swiss
presence to support the ongoing emergency response.

Also on Thursday, Venezuelan Foreign Affairs Minister Yván Gil and Defense
Minister Gustavo González López presented <https://t.me/YvanGilPinto/8536>
awards to German volunteers in recognition of their arduous work.

The Heroes of Venezuela medal was awarded to the head of the German
humanitarian mission, Peter Banks, and the head of operations, Sebastian
Swan. Additionally, a formal decoration and an accompanying letter were
designated for the Federal Chancellor of Germany, Friedrich Merz.

The Venezuelan government also awarded medals to the mission’s rescue dogs,
whose sense of smell and determination served as a beacon of hope for
countless Venezuelan families.

“On behalf of Acting President Delcy Rodríguez, we wanted to offer this
small tribute of gratitude from the government and people of Venezuela for
the immense effort you have dedicated over these last few days,” the
foreign minister stated.
